Dead bag syndrome—in the capsular bag subluxated intraocular lens centration and refixation: A new technique
We describe a technique of scleral IOL fixation and optic centration of in the capsular bag subluxated IOL in a patient of “dead bag syndrome.” A 29-year-old male diagnosed case of thalassemia presented with painless progressive diminution of vision in the left eye following uncomplicated sequential...

| description | We describe a technique of scleral IOL fixation and optic centration of in the capsular bag subluxated IOL in a patient of “dead bag syndrome.” A 29-year-old male diagnosed case of thalassemia presented with painless progressive diminution of vision in the left eye following uncomplicated sequential phacoemulsification in both eyes 15 years back. The right eye revealed completely centered IOL with significant amount of anterior capsular opacification (ACO), while the left eye revealed inferior subluxation of the IOL within capsular bag. The capsular bag was dilated, diaphanous with clear anterior and posterior capsule without any evidence of capsular fibrosis or opacification. Thus, a diagnosis of “dead bag syndrome” was made. The haptics were sutured to sclera (Hoffman's pockets) using two loops of 9-0 polypropylene, passed anterior and posterior to IOL haptics within the capsular bag. Postoperatively, the patient had a vision of 20/40 with a centered intraocular lens. |
